Description
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by Glen Morgan on December 4, 2017. The complaint alleged that Yakima County Democratic Central Committee (Respondent), a bona fide political party, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Party; RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to accurately and completely disclose debts and obligations; and RCW 42.17A.240, WAC 390-16-037, and WAC 390-16-205 for failure to accurately and completely disclose details of expenditures undertaken by the Party, including the number of items printed and sub-vendors utilized by the Party.
PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.
Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely, accurately and completely report contribution and expenditure activity, does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.
PDC staff is reminding the Yakima County Democratic Central Committee about the importance of the timely, complete and accurate disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities. PDC staff expects the timely, complete and accurate filings of all future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.
Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
